Well worth the $3,200 to ship her so she could travel for a few days. She was happy to get out of doggie jail after 48 hours to ensure she had no diseases, et cetera. But maybe going with her on a cargo plane would be cheaper and easier.
Appreciate you being considerate of those with animal allergies. I think any traveling animal (service animal, crated animal, etc) should be confined to a certain designated animal zone, so allergic folks don't have to endure respiratory issues. Just like many pet-friendly hotels block off certain rooms or floors, between breathing issues, dander, and hopefully not fleas, I prefer not to be enclosed in a confined space with animals. Thanks for checking into flying options.
